Instructions
- Begin by pouring the olive oil into a nonstick frying pan and placing it over medium-high heat, allowing the oil to warm up sufficiently.
- Once the oil is heated, add the corn tortillas to the pan, one at a time, carefully browning each side until they achieve a crispy texture; this will infuse the frittata with a delightful crunch.
- After the tortillas are perfectly crisp, drain the excess oil from the pan and set the tortillas on paper towels to absorb any additional grease; keep them warm as you move on to the next steps.
- In a separate bowl, scramble the eggs, then add the chopped green onion, diced tomatoes, sliced avocado, salt, and cayenne pepper; mix all the ingredients together thoroughly to ensure an even distribution of flavors.
- Spray the nonstick pan lightly with cooking spray to prevent sticking, then reduce the heat to medium and pour the egg mixture into the pan, frying until the eggs are cooked to your desired level of doneness—fluffy and fully set are ideal.
- To serve, place a generous portion of the egg mixture atop each crispy tortilla, and for an extra burst of flavor, feel free to top with your favorite picante sauce; shredded cheese can also be added for a creamy finish.
This Mexican Egg Frittata not only satisfies your taste buds but also provides a nourishing start to your day, making it a perfect choice for a quick breakfast that can be enjoyed in under thirty minutes.
